John Lejeune Jr. is not the A/V club nerd you
remember from high school. Also known as "DVJ Hollywood," this north shore
entertainer is a sort of multimedia Renaissance man. Obsessed with lights,
sounds and electronics from a young age, this St. Tammany resident has taken a
youthful passion for all things audio-visual and created from it a career as a well-known multimedia entertainer north of Lake Pontchartrain.

A graduate of Southeastern Louisiana University with
a degree in business management, Lejeune was selected for SLU's Young Alumnus
of the Year Award in 2012 for his ability to parlay his education into successful
entrepreneurship.

Lejeune owns a health club in Bogalusa and is
part-owner of another in Lacombe. He owns rental property. He owns a company
that provides mobile large-format video screens for outdoor gatherings. And -- most
important to Lejeune -- he has built an entertainment service providing DJ services, video projection, laser shows, mobile photo booths,
mobile karaoke, and a large "bass wagon" with a portable speaker system that
provides the soundtrack for events and parades.

He also dabbles in film and television as a hobby. In 2012, Lejeune appeared
in 10 episodes of the VH-1 reality series "Tough Love" (season 4, New Orleans),
has been cast in various print ads and commercials and in bit or extra
parts in film and television, including HBO's New Orleans-based drama, Treme.

Lejeune's favorite projects are those he
takes on as "DVJ Hollywood," the main DJ of his Rock-It Productions. He says there is a big difference between being a
professional entertainer and just "spinning records."

"There are different types of DJs. There's the
'anybody' DJ that now, with modern technology, just about anyone can be," Lejeune said. "And there's the professional 'for a living' DJ. A playlist is still
involved, but with several other interjections."

'A DJ needs to know a wide variety of music and should be able to read the crowd,' said north shore native John Lejeune Jr., aka 'DJ Hollywood.'

Lejeune says what makes a DJ an original entertainer
is what happens after the playlist is selected and the audio is configured.

"First, a DJ needs to know a wide variety of music
and should be able to read the crowd," Lejeune said. "I've averaged a couple of
gigs a week since I've been in my teens. You tend to learn all the trends over
the years that make your audience dance and feel the music."

"The next thing I focus on is actually being an
entertainer and emcee. A good DJ should be able to raise the energy level by
talking on the mic, dancing, and engaging with the crowd," he said.

What about the music itself? What about the cool
blending and remixing that gets a young crowd moving?

"This is more prominent in the nightlife scene," Lejeune
said. "I take songs usually close to the same bpm – beats per minute – combine them,
add effects, and make a seamless transformation. This makes the music flow from
one song to the next as if it's one song, all on the fly."

Lejeune said he plans to continue to pursue film and
television work while keeping the north shore dancing.

"I learned a lot about
the TV world, and it definitely opened up doors for me," he said of his
stint on VH-1. "It was cool being recognized so much when it was airing." After
the program aired last year, Lejeune listed with a New Orleans-based talent
agency and booked several gigs.

"The most recent was a
quick spot on the 2013 DirecTV 'Football on Your Phone, Manning' commercial," he said. "I do it more for a hobby. I love to entertain, and this just
allows me another way to do so. Also, the whole 'behind the scenes' filming
production interests me. I plan to continue this journey."
